Isabella
finished setting up the stage and went to stand behind the curtain.

" Come
one, come all to see the amazing magician Isabella Swan!" Yelled
her best friend Maisey. People gathered around the stage.

" Thank
you so much for your attention and now I have the pleasure to
introduce you to the fabulous Isabella Swan!" The crowd clapped.
Isabella stepped out from behind the curtain and bowed. At first she
did a couple of easy tricks to win the crowd over and they cheered.
For the ending she decided to do a complicated trick she learned from
her days as Harry Houdini's apprentice. Yes, she actually met and
studied Harry Houdini as his apprentice and she was only ten at the
time.

Mr.
Houdini taught her everything he knew from physics, literature, and
science to the art of illusion and magic tricks, she paid extra
attention when he taught that. They traveled to many places to
preform for huge crowds. After five years when Isabella was fifteen,
he decided that she should make her own living as he had already
taught her everything she needed to know. A little while after that
that she met her best friend Maisey, they stuck together and started
doing their own performances all over Arkansas. When Isabella was 16,
her and Maisey traveled to Mississippi. Now let's get back to the
present.

" Thank
you once again for paying attention! Now for my finale act I will
make my assistant Maisey disappear." She announced. She walked
behind the curtain to retrieve a large box.

" Now
Maisey, would you please step inside the box." She told Maisey. She
stepped inside the box and Isabella closed the door.

" I
will count to three ans Maisey will disappear. One...Two...Three!"
And she opened the door to the now empty box. The crowed gasped.
Unfortunately one of the onlookers was a very religious person and
accused her of being a witch. The crowd started screaming and running
away. The police came and shot her with a tranquilizer dart. Once she
was unconscious they hauled her into a truck with a sign on the side
of it that said:

Biloxi
Mental Asylum

Maisey
came out from under the stage since she really didn't disappear, it
was all an act, and looked around for Isabella. She saw the police
carry her friend away and place her into a truck. Since she didn't
see the sign on the side of the truck she tried to run after it but
the streets were to crowded, so she watched her friend get carried
away. She silently prayed to God that she would see her friend again
someday.

Part
2: Visions

August
27,1920 Biloxi, Mississippi

Mary
Alice sat on her bed in a daze, she just had a vision. Let me
explain, Mary Alice Brandon can see the future, ever since she was
two. Her parents ignore her ability and pretend it never happens. But
lately her visions have been really bad. For example, one day she had
a vision that their mailman would have a heart attack on their
doorstep and it happened, her parents were very freaked out. Today
she had a vision of her parents sending her to a mental asylum, so
she decided to confront them about it.

" Momma,
Papa are you sending me away?" She asked them. They looked at her
shocked.

" Now
why would we do that?" Asked her father. Mary Alice knew that he
was lying.

" Because
of my visions. You're going to send me to a mental asylum!" She
shouted. Her parents looked at her shocked yet again, she never
yelled at anyone.

" Sweetie,
we are trying to help you-"

" When?"
She interrupted her mother.

" When
what?" Said her father.

" When
are they taking me?" She asked. Her father was about to say
something when somebody knocked on the door. Her father walked up to
the door and opened it. Two men in uniforms walked in.

" We're
here for Mary Alice Brandon." Said one of them. Mary Alice ran out
of the house and the men followed her. She stumbled and fell to the
ground and the men caught up with her, picked her up and carried her
to the truck kicking and screaming to the truck.

" Mom!
Dad!" She cried. Her parents looked at her with tears in their
eyes.

" We're
so sorry, it's better this way." Said her father. Her mother looked
at her.

" Remember
that we will always love you." He mother cried. The men through her
into the truck. She stole one more glance at her parents before they
closed the door and drove off.

This idea has been stuck in my head for about a month so I decided to write it out. I will not update as often though.
